Tampax menstrual tampons educational booklet,
It's a Woman's World,
U.S.A., 1980s?
Complete booklet
Tampax, the first tampon with an applicator
(early 1930s; read a short history), and
the first really successful tampon, has a long
history providing information about menstruation and tampons. The company
had to in order to sell the tampon idea to skeptical customers worried about
losing their virginity (see a letter
a mother wrote to her daughter's doctor about tampons and hymens), losing
the tampon in the vagina, blocking the menstrual flow, etc. Many of these
questions Tampax answered in its Bulletins from
the 1950s, in a medical journal article, in a
medical journal ad as well as in early commercial
ads.
The text mentions The
Tampax Report (right column) from 1981,
which fixes the earliest possible date for this booklet.
